I'm depressed that i can not got to this show. I have a midterm that night. I asked the prof about "if going to see the Hip, was a good reason to miss the exam, he said no"

obviously he's not a Hip fan

Just got in on the public onsale -- Section 120, row 8. Didn't give seat numbers, but I'm sure they'll be on the ducets. Yay for Platnums. This is pretty much where I was for the Dec 23 show, just on the other side of the barn.

Cheers

fake being sick and get a doctors note thats what I did once before, health Services don't care and the profs are non the wiser if you do it once or twice, or in my friends case for everyone. :wink:

You know i once threathened to quit my job if they didn't let me go, needless to say I was at the show one way or another :jump :thumb:

I think it's pretty rotten that many of the fans I've talked to got pre-sale tickets in the 200s and 300s when they could just have waited to get floor seats after the sale. Another reason to hate TM?

I don't know if it's fully Ticketmaster's fault; I feel as though it's a combination of Ticketmaster and the show promoters, although I could be wrong. In any event, presales are almost always a crapshoot; you'll either end up with killer seats (like a lot of us seemed to score through THC) or pretty bad ones. Radio station presales never seem to yield much in the way of good seats; fan club presales are (in my experience, anyway) the only way to go.

Plus, if we're gonna hate TM, I think the service charges that got tacked onto these tickets ($12 each or something) is ample reason. :wink:

i think its a pretty fair way of doing things. not everyone has access to the internet, and get tix by phone and outlets. They have to leave some of the good seats for the general public> BTW, ticketmaster has nothing to do with it. Thye release wht they are told to release, and when better tickets show up days before the show, its because the band, press/media, or promoters dont use the tickets thery requested, why not sell them??

I agree, it is more fair to hold some back and give everybody some chance at getting decent seats, but the way I look at it is, is there really a bad seat to see the Hip in any city in any arena or any club? N-O!

Well... that's exactly what I did. By the time I found out about the pre-sale, I couldn't get any tickets better than the 300 section. I decided to take my chance on the public sale today, and see what I could get. I took my chances - after all, there was the possibility that I wasn't going to get any better tickets today than I could've got yesterday.
